Provided by The Hungry Hutch

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
black pepper
8 chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and honey in a baking dish; season with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to your liking.
  • Add the chicken and toss to coat; turn skin side up and place in oven; bake 40 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through.
  • Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees; turn chicken skin side up again and place back in oven. (You could also just use your broiler for this).
  • Serve with oregano-scented rice (white rice cooked with oregano) and roasted green beans (toss the vegetables in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and place in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes). Drizzle plate with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. You can also use chicken wings or drumsticks, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-coated in the marinade: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: The key to a great marinade is using a variety of spices and herbs. This recipe uses garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, and sesame oil. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as cumin, coriander, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

This sweet and tangy chicken marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. The marinade is made with a variety of spices and herbs, which gives the chicken a complex and flavorful taste. The chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilled, roasted, or pan-fried. No matter how you cook it, this marinade will make your chicken taste amazing.
